Twilight
As twilight falls over Memory Skyscraper, he can feel himself forgetting her.
Xion, her name was Xion.
He has to keep repeating her name over and over in his head just to remember.
Xion, Xion, Xion...
He remembers she liked this time of day—liked to watch sunsets with her friends and eat ice-cream. They shared ice-cream and sunsets, too—he can't afford to think about those things, though, not with his memories fading and Roxas on his way to avenge her.
After repeating a word enough times, the meaning gets lost.
Why am I even doing this... Why can't I remember?
Author: Why do I keep going back to this night? DX
Well, gotta say... I mentioned it in author's notes before, but I wanted to write a drabble dealing with Riku's thoughts up on Memory Skyscraper while waiting for Roxas. He was repeating her name in his head even as he forgot her... Which is how he held on longer than Roxas did.
He DID start forgetting that (and even wondered why he was repeating it, as you see here) but as Amatus pointed out to me, being thrown "Oblivion" reminded him of her as well. It was just the little push he needed to grab her name again, one last time..
To my reviewers:
Amatus: (Not really, I don't mind swearing.^^) Thanks a lot, lol... I agree, I want to see creepy stalker-ish Xehanort in the future (more than already...) Lol! And yes, it was that drabble... (You're welcome! Glad I gave you creeps in the best possible way... XD)
vanitas1776: Yeah, I agree. ^-^ You should definitely check out Amatus's stories! She's got two drabble series like this one, and also a lot of one-shots that go with them. They're all really good. :) And thanks a lot, I hope you'll follow my long story as well. ^^
Guest: I know... He's awful. :C
Rokuna Aldebaran: Yay, you caught up in time! I'm glad you like it so much... It's gonna be strange to finish, but I hope to do it in a good way! :D
See ya next time!
